Well I certainly wouldn't call myself a neoliberal. A neoliberal is somebody that believes in free market economics. It doesn't have anything to do with the term 'liberal' as used in US politics, ya stooge.

One of my fave sci fi novels of all time. Thanks for reminding to re-read it!

You keep using that word, I don't think you know what it means.

It is a notable part of the Israeli strategy to not make a distinction between soldiers and Palestinian civilians

Regardless of whether you think Hezbollah are a terrorist organisation or no, they're not in the west bank, they're in Lebanon (a different country).

Those countries I mentioned are just examples of large countries that do not recognise Israel. My point is that it is not 'outlandish' to not recognise Israel.

Hezbollah is a Lebanese political entity, not sure where you got the idea that they're in the west bank (currently governed by the PLO, if you weren't aware).

I don't think not recognising Israel is outlandish either. There are quite a few countries which do not recognise Israel - Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Indonesia spring to mind.

Could you elaborate on why you believe that only Hamas can make peace happen?

One obvious criticism of this is the fact that the western bank is not controlled by Hamas, but is still being bombed at the moment. It seems that only Israel could stop that.

I'd also like to note that Hamas has exicitly said that their goal is a return to the 1967 borders. This has been the case since 2017, so I would be interested in your sources for the claim that their official goal is the destruction of Israel.

Hahaha true, but I more mean that him and his ilk tend to have a real slimy gift for interrupting and confusing people into looking stupid.

Very impressive that he managed to run rings around Piers Morgan on his own show and come out looking good. Railroading conversations is Piers Morgan's bread and butter.

Couldn't agree more. Those novelty e-celeb accounts on Reddit are getting really put of hand, aren't they, Margot Robbie
